DENNY US. DOpSNN.
Judge Eeady Dverrules the
nefeusianl,s Demurrer.

PORTLAND, November 28.-An i'm
portant decision was made by Judge
Deadly in tho United States Coul t
this morning, in Denny against bod
son, to recover possession OF eighteen
lots of the town OF Arlington, Gillian
County, Or. Judge Denny purchased
from the Northern Pacific a tract of
land, including one-half OF the town
of Arlington. Settlers squatted on the
land, paying no attention to the COM
pany's claims, and as the town grew,
cut up the land into lots, including
part OF Main street. Scores bought
homes, some with, others without
knowledge of the claim. TIE land
jumpers claimed the land, and Judge
Denny determined to mako a test
case of it. T defendant demurred
to the complaint OH the ground that
the Northern Pacific forfeited the
title because it had not finished the
entire road within the time requii ed
by Congress. To-day Judge Deadly
overruled the demurrer, requiring the
defendant to answer.

The RailrOads' Defense In the
standard Oil Case.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., November 2S.-
All of the witnesses examined before
the United States Commerce Com
mission to-day in the Standard Oil
case have been sworn and examined
before, and the evidence was in great
part an explanation of that already
brought out. The evidence is now all
in and the complaint seems to ha, e
proved conclusively that the railroads
almost all give largely discriminating
rates favoring oil in tank cars and that
the Standard Oil Company is practic-
ally the only institution whose plant
allows it to avail itself Of the law. 1t
was averred on the part Of every rail-
road that the tank rates are open to
all the companies. and that no special
privileges are accorded to any institu-
ton. The Standard Oil witnesses
swore that they never asked nor
would accept any rebates, lower rates
or discriminating privileges. Further
proceedings are postponed till January
18th. when the argument will be
heard.

CHINESE CERTIFICATES'C CASE.
Boyd Held to Answer On Further
Charges.

SAN Francisco, November d.
The motion to quash the indictments
against ex- Customs Inspector Boyd.
for fraudulently uttering Chinese
certificates was heard in the Circuit
Court to- lay. Defendants counsel
said that the names of the witnesses
was not endorsed on the first indict-
ment, which was therefore invalid.
Attorney McPike stated that the
indictments found by the Circuit
Court Grand Jury against the mys-
terious "a. King" were in reality
against Boyd, and charged him with
stealing Custon-house records, and
with conspiracy. 1t was also stated
that the bail on this charge would le
5000, making in all $4,000 Boyd
would have to raise. He added that
it was the intention to try Boyd on
the two indictments already presented.
After further argument the cases went
over till tomorrow, SO that Boyd
could file new bonds, which he did
this afternoon, with NJ. Gutherlet and
S. HerriDghy as sureties.

Trial at New York.

Paul, Minnesota.
Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD. !

New YORK, November 2S.- The
trial OF Johann Most, anarchist, Was
resumed to-day. The court room was
thronged, and many women were
present, but there was a noticeable
diminution in the glare of red ribbons
and flowers displayed.
Frederick Harting testified that he
went into the saloon in the rear of
which Most was making a speech,
and, attracted by curiosity, went into
the meeting held there. He said
Most did not use the violent language
charged against him. He had never
seen Most before, and was no anar-
chist, but might yet become one.
A soCIALIsTIc REPORTER.
Hermann Sterlitz, reporter testi-
fed that Most began his speech with
Fellow citizens" and not Brother
anarch sts." as alleged. He did not
threaten immediate revenge, though
he accused Grinnell and tiary Of be-
ing the murderers of the Chicago an
archists, and Powderly aud George
for turning the Knights of Labor
from the anarchists. Witness said
he was Socialist; he didn't believe
"that God bothered about such tri-
fling things as perjury"
Gustav Stephan and Siegflied
Rosensweig testified that they heard
Most's speech, and that it did not
contain the incendiary language
alleged.
At the afternoon session, Judge
Cowing announced that he ha re-
ceived a threatening letter, one he
should disregard. The letter read:
:" If you bring in the charge against
Herr Most, you will die. Death for
officers is their due-libertY."

propositions coming from &Vntractors

After some discussion, the require

ticulars. The notifications, it is said
will not admit steel of lower quality
than now used, but will result in the
reduction of Il number of the tests,
which is one object sought by the
steel makers. A milder and softer

quired will al-o be accepted for heavy
